How did Franklin Roosevelt's new deal break with Herbert hoovers policies toward the depression?
Actually, Roosevelt's policies were similar to Hoover's but more extreme, and even people from Roosevelt's administration later admitted that they developed some of their ideas from Hoover. Both presidents favored government intervention into the economy and it did not end the depression. Hoover's policies turned a recession into a depression, and Roosevelt's policies turned a short depression into a decade long debacle. The depression did not end until Roosevelt took the US into World War II, when virtually the whole country was in a wartime economy. It is a common misconception that Hoover favored "free-market" policies. His Republican predecessors, Warren Harding and Calvin Coolidge did favor free market policies, and the result was the "roaring 20's" which was a period of economic prosperity. So to answer the question, Roosevelt's policies did not so much break from Hoover's, they only expanded upon them and kept the depression going.
